Look up in the sky - we're talking about the new Prime Video show Ballard. It's a spin-off from Bosch. Okay - we're also talking about James Gunn's new Superman movie. It's kind of a big deal. Oh, and there's also some chatter about the new Lena Dunham Netflix show Too Much, and Simon finally catches up with How To Train Your Dragon. You'd have to be Superman to create this much show.
Jurassic Park helped the dinosaurs defy death. This week on Screen Watching, Dan and Simon discuss the latest entry into the film series, Jurassic World: Rebirth. And then they discuss the latest David Cronenberg body horror, his quasi-autobiographical The Shrouds.
It is a podcast for big boys and girls who like loud engines and things that go boom. This week on the podcast, Simon reviews new Apple TV film F1, which is playing in cinemas right now. Then Dan flipped on Prime Video to see the new show Countdown.
It's a mixed bag on the ol' podcast this week. It's like those 7 Up movies, but with zombies. Simon takes a look at Danny Boyle's fast-moving zombies in 28 Years Later. Then Dan gets all YA on us with We Were Liars, the new Prime Video show. For kids, y'know? Very briefly Dan talks about Kevin Williamson's latest Netflix show The Waterfront.
Love - it's exciting and new. Come aboard, we have reviews for you! The Captain Stubing and Gopher of podcasts Dan Barrett & Simon Foster have two reviews that are both heavy on the romance. Mix Tape (Streaming on BINGE) Materialists (in cinemas now)
It's a big week for regurgitating IP. Just like every other damn week. We have a new John Wick spin-off called Ballerina, the Predator is back in a new animated movie anthology where we watch him fight WWII pilots ( - really!), and there's another Karate Kid film (inexplicably). Oh... and Owen Wilson is here to save the day with something new: a golf comedy.
Yeah, alright. You want reviews? You want inane opinions? We have you covered. Bring Her Back (in cinemas now) Dept Q (Netflix... you may have heard of it) Adults (Hulu in the US, Disney+ elsewhere) Mountainhead (Max) The Phoenician Scheme (in cinemas now) The Great Lillian Hall (in Australian cinemas now... it has taken a while)

Guys, we did it. We saw the new (and last?) Mission: Impossible movie. These films have become cultural EVENTS! But, this last one... it has left our intrepid Screen Watching team divided. This week they review: Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (in cinemas) Duster (on Max) The Surfer (in cinemas - coming soon to Stan) Hurry Up Tomorrow (in cinemas) Rust (in cinemas) La Cocina And some brief chatter about the new Superman trailer, then onto Andor chat....
In this week's podcast, Simon reviews new horror film Clown in a Cornfield. But... is it as good as the clown-themed horror film Dan pitches him? Then Dan talks up the new Netflix drama The Eternaut. To wrap things up, there's chatter about the remake The Wedding Banquet, Riefenstahl, Shifting Gears (it's a Tim Allen comedy), and a flashback to The Taking of Pelham One Two Three.
Big week on the ol' Screen Watching podcast with Dan and Simon having both seen a Marvel film that was actually pretty good. That said... they have some issues with it... Also, there's the new Tina Fey show on Netflix - The Four Seasons. It's good. But...
A big TV week on the ol' Screen Watching pod as Dan and Simon have conflicting views on new ballet Prime Video show Etoile. Will it end in a dance battle? Probably. Also, Simon has questions about The Accountant 2. And then because they are both men of a certain age, they have an extended chat about Star Wars and new show Andor.
On this Easter long weekend as we consider death and resurrection, what better way to spend it than talking about new vampire film Sinners. It is from Black Panther director Ryan Coogler and it's really pretty terrific. How much should you believe the hype? Dan and Simon have a chat. Also on the podcast, we discuss new Netflix show Ranson Canyon. And some quick chats about new Prime Video show The Narrow Road to the Deep North and films Warfare, The Correspondent.
Folks, it's a big week for the ol' Screen Watching podcast. First, there is industry chat: Why were people surprised A Minecraft Movie would be a hit? What was the deal with people not liking s3 of The White Lotus? Then there's the important matter of reviews: Death of a Unicorn (in cinemas) Your Friends and Neighbors (Apple TV+) The Amateur (in cinemas) Bad Genius The Last of Us (Max) Dying For Sex (Disney+/Hulu) Yeah - it's a lot of show. And if you want to know how it is possible, hit the pla...
We kicked off this week's podcast with a whole lot of TV and movie news from this past week - farewelling Val Kilmer, discussing the launch of Max in Australia, and a few other tidbits. Then we rolled into reviews of The Minecraft Movie, new Netflix show Pulse, Dogman, and more.
Podcasting’s own Daffy and Porky, Dan Barrett and Simon Foster, have a lot to say about the new Looney Tunes full-length feature film, THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP. They pivot into some equally lively debate about AppleTV’s Hollywood satire THE STUDIO, starring Seth Rogen. PLUS Richard Gere and Uma Thurman star in director Paul Schrader’s moving drama, OH, CANADA!; bald bad-guy basher Jason Statham is up to his increasingly old tricks in A WORKING MAN; and, we join the chorus of admiration surround...
Lots of things to talk about and review this week. Simon steps onto the culture wars battlefield to see Snow White, Dan pops into new Netflix murder mystery comedy The Residence, Simon presses play on Long Bright River on Stan, and Dan popped into a cinema to see Robert de Niro appear opposite himself in The Alto Knights.

Yeah, it's a weird week on the Screen Watching podcast. We have a lot to talk about, but none of it seems to be what we should be talking about this week. Like, Emilia Perez is in Australian cinemas, but we should have talked about it months ago in line with the US release. And Dan should be talking about Severance season 2, but there were no screeners made available. So, this week: Emilia Perez (in cinemas) Wolf Man (in cinemas) Mister8 (SBS On Demand) Everyone Else Burns (SBS On Demand) Homici...
Did horror movie fan Simon Foster say "Yesferatu" to the new Robert Eggers film Nosferatu? Will Dan stop gushing over The Pitt? And why didn't Simon talk about Conclave as his featured review? Oh... and what is with all of the beeped language in this week's episode?
